Daily Accountability

This is the easiest way I've found to hold myself accountable and feel satisfied with my day:


I have a planner, but I don't write down appointments (that's what computers are for).


At the beginning of each day, I write a narrative of how my day will unfold.


As an example, "I will meet with (Colleague) over the COGS process. I will work through my tasklist for (Client) and respond to (Prospect) on their proposal questions. I will post on LinkedIn, attend my team call in the afternoon and network with (ERP Vendor)."


I don't usually struggle with motivation when I'm in alignment with my values - I am far more likely to be a workaholic. Sometimes it never feels like enough, which is where setting goals helps me. I know if I meet the goals I laid out at the beginning of the day, I can feel satisfied and stop. Others might struggle with motivation and use this to stay on track with what they promised themselves they would do.


I got this idea from Hugh Jackman's interview with Tim Ferriss. Instead of using a planner, he sends a message to his coach, and in the past tense, then gives himself a grade at the end of the day.
